Lutz is "race" brakes non vented but it worked for him on drag week at 200 mph so it was good enough for me to buy! Also Larry Larson runs "race" brakes on the street also... Them guys have no problem and Larson even commented on a post when I asked about "race" brakes! Lots run them and yea with strange you lose weight for sure... Who am I to argue with them guys so I have them now front and rear. The main thing everyone seems to say is just don't constant brake them hard all the time. No problems for me but good luck with whatever you choose Mike Roth is a dealer on here for strange.



Sledge, have you street driven yours much since the install? How much of a weight savings up front over stock discs? how bout out back over drums?



Well I used to have exact weights... I sold the stocks (minus spindle) so I had the weight in the box from strange and the weight of the box I shipped from my stock stuff plus I weighed them seperate anyway! I think strange claims 36lbs over stock up front and that held true when I weighed the stuff but on the rears I had dr. diff stuff already so lost 10/11lbs there over the DR. stuff but im sure much more over drums... and yes no problems on the street excessive hard and constant braking is what kills the thinner rotors but hey lutz and larson run race brakes with no problems so they sold me on them and glad I got them! I didn't buy the wilwoods from what prosport bob posted in the past cause on hard turns the tread on the wheel would just catch the fender molding and I didn't want the wheel out any further... on hard landings at thr track or a bad pothole I could see the tire busting up the fender.. so I got the strange and when I got new wheels went from 1.75" to 2.25" backspace and smaller tires and all works well now with no issues at all! Strange rotor are more expensive to replace over wilwood would be downside I guess but oh well i'm not busting up my front fenders... And as rossio said real easy install for strange and on the wilwoods I've seen guys wirelock all the bolts in that hold the rotor on.
